" HENDERSON'5 SNOWBALL." 



It is hardly necessary for tis to describe this variety at all. as its 

 name has now become a household word wherever this delicious vege- 

 table is grown. Snowball Cauliflower is the standard every- 

 w^here for quality with the seedsman, the market gardener 

 and the amateur. While originally recMmmended and used as an 

 early variety, it has not only supplauied all other sorts for early spring 

 planting, but it has largely driven out the large late sons for fall use, 

 being much finer in quality, an 1 the only Cauliflower that is absolutely 

 certain to head when the conditions are right, forming a perfect snow- 

 white head, averaging nine Inches in diameter. 



HEITDEBSOir'S EABLY SNOWBAI.I. CAVZ,IFI.OWEK 



is superior to all others. It is the earliest ot all Cauliflowers. Its close- 

 growing, compact habit enables one-third more to be planted on the 

 same space of ground than can be done with any other varit-ty. For 

 forcing under glass during winter and spring, this Early Snowhall 

 variety is peculiarly we:l adapted, from its dwarf growth and short 

 outer leaves, and for this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely 

 grown. {See cut.) Price, 25c. per pkt., $4.00 per oz., $li.00 per ,'4 lb., 

 $48.00 per lb.
